Ep. 614 – Matt Kittle (COO, Teamwork Online)

The ability to go online, look at a job listing, submit a resume, and potentially work in sports didn’t start with Teamwork Online, but they have gotten a pretty good marketshare of the folks interested in applying for jobs in the sports industry. Chief Operating Officer Matt Kittle says that there are over 3.5 million users in the industry, and that the website has helped motivate a ton of applicants in a focused effort toward the sports job field. Kittle discusses some of the issues around working in sports, as well as the ability to avoid looking as if the website is taking advantage of their users, which is a notorious issue that plagues the sports industry as a whole. Kittle talks about some of the ways in which the website has grown, including networking event functions prior to games for multiple teams. Twitter: @MattKittle
